The Lonely Furrow
Disaster strikes the Drummond family with the collapse of the Glasgow Bank which results in them losing their business and subsequently their respectable place in society. For Nathan, this spells the end of his dream of an engineering career and also his betrothal to his beloved Isobel. When an unexpected inheritance saves the day there are mixed feelings when the Drummonds are forced to leave their comfortable Glasgow home for a run-down farm in Shropshire. Chrissie, the little Highland maid, goes with them and proves a godsend during the difficult months, despite her secret, and increasingly strong, love for Nathan. Can the family keep the shame of their past hidden? And can Nathan learn to manage the farm and also recognize love for the girl who is keeping his family together?

Rapids & Waterfalls!
It certainly took a lot of paddling to get to the mainstream of this book, but it was well worth the becalming, because all of a sudden it was hold tight to your straps and don't lose your paddle!!
Certainly the changes in society values, mechanization, and the rights of the labour force are all undercurrents, but personal relationships are the intrigue which keeps the reader turning the pages and steadying the boat!

A gentle story which unfolded well. One drawback was several grammatical errors which spoilt the flow of the story, also misused words which grated. Careful proofreading needed for future books.
This is the first book I’ve read by this author. Having said this I would read more books written by Pamela Kavanagh.
